Years of research and knowing where to look, and alot of passion for cars & stuff! 
I will have an exact weight before I mount them up but expect @ 25-30 lbs. each. Cost for wheels & tires...................?

. BUT, thanks to a substantial hook-up (I'll be doing a little advertiseing for this new shop. Nothing like stickers or anything on my car, just showing up at quarterly Car Shows sponsered by the shop and spreading the word ) Not trying to be secretive or anything, just smart. I can tell you that for these particular wheels having to be made to spec for my car would have listed for over $3,000! Just for wheels! I also (thru a long time hook-up, after all I've bought several sets of 18' & 19' tires over the years, roughly 10 in the past 4 years for different cars) receive my tires discounted. The particular setup of TOYO'S I'm going with would be @ $1,200 for tires! So as you can see my setup would retail over $4,000. Let's just say I'm spending over $3k.

Trust me, I am VERY concerned about this as well!
I am "furiously" searching for aftermarket pads, but no one has any to fit the stock calipers! 
Believe me, I cringe to even think about what these factory pads will do to me expensive metal. And to be honest I may just hold off on mounting them until I can find better pads.........
I'll keep everyone posted.

Don't really care for the rim, but I'll wait to see them on the car before I make a final judgement.
I would have gone with the Advan 5's....those wheels are HOT!

If anyone is looking to get rid of thier Ray's 18" for a fair price, I'd like to know. Just curious. Any idea if those rims will fit a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT? Let me know difinitively. Reply to blackbusiness@aol.com as I use that more often. Thanks

TXStyle...I haven't said anything for a while but I've finally found something I like....Has anyone ever heard of the Blitz Techno Z-2. That my wheel of choice. They're kinda pricey and the biggest size is an 18. Oh well....I'll be sacrificing my 19's for 18's but I think it's worth it. These wheel are tight. Zay you're gonna love them. I tried to paste them but I can't get it to work. They're priced $2564 for a set of wheels only. 8 inch front and 9 for the rear. They also have some other nice wheels, but none compare to the Z-2.
Could someone go to www.I-M-racing.com and go to wheels cut and paste for me.

That is a nice looking wheel, ALTHOUGH........Blitz Technospeed Z-1 is an even better looking (IMO) and light-weight wheel I was also considering! Notice the similarity to my Anteras?

Oh. By the way guys, my wheels did INDEED come in today! I went up to the shop and saw them but due to the EXTREMELY poor weather here in Dallas today (rainy!) and possibly the rest of the week, I will not drive the Z. But people let me tell you............. THEY ARE INCREDIBLE!!! The 'lips' are astonishing, and I swear the silver finish of the face/spokes is damn near identicle to the Chrome Silver Paint! When I mount these ****'s up, the response will be the same.....
